Challenge – “Travel & Holidays” Aug 24

Theme – Travel & Holidays

This challenge may very well create a few confrontations when it comes to defining the theme. What is travel and what are holidays? Maybe you have never stopped to think about these two words and consider their meaning. But it’s an interesting task and very often one overlooks the other. And to take photos of things that portray one or the other we need to look at both of them first and see what the difference is.

• Travel is what you do to go on holiday. “go from one place to another, typically over a distance of some length”. Travelling is also something else, Travelling is a challenge. It’s sometimes frustrating, sometimes infuriating. Travelling involves getting outside your comfort zone, taking chances, and taking risks. It isn’t always fun. It isn’t always relaxing. But it is memorable, and very often life-changing.
• Holiday is by definition, “an extended period of leisure and recreation, especially one spent away from home and not working”.

So with these now clear we can conjure up ideas for photos that fit one or the other. How do we travel? What do we do on holiday?  Where do we go on holiday?

Go answer those questions with your cameras!
